Dock Inside Corner Plate Vlaeng Heavy Galvanized Steel 5×2.75×2.75

Description

Product Overview

The Vlaeng Dock Inside Corner Plate is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of both commercial and residential dock construction. Constructed from hot‑dipped galvanized Q235 steel, the plate offers exceptional corrosion resistance that matches the standards of marine‑grade hardware. Its dimensions of 5 × 2.75 × 2.75 inches provide a compact yet sturdy footprint, while the 6 mm thickness delivers the rigidity needed to support heavy loads and resist deformation under constant stress. Each corner of the plate is pre‑drilled with a ½‑inch hole, allowing for quick attachment to chain holders, backer plates, or other securing components without the need for additional drilling. The plate’s finish is a uniform silver‑gray that not only looks professional but also adds an extra layer of protection against rust, abrasion, and the harsh conditions often encountered in freshwater dock environments. Designed for compatibility with a range of Vlaeng accessories, this corner plate integrates seamlessly into existing dock systems, making it a versatile choice for upgrades, repairs, or new installations.

Usage

When installing a floating dock, loading dock, or any type of boat dock that requires reinforced corners, the Vlaeng Inside Corner Plate serves as a critical structural element. The plate is ideal for use in freshwater lakes, rivers, and calm coastal areas where exposure to saltwater is minimal but the need for durability remains high. Installers can position the plate at the intersection of dock edges to create a rigid, load‑bearing corner that distributes weight evenly across the dock frame. The pre‑drilled ½‑inch holes align perfectly with standard chain‑holder hardware, allowing users to secure the plate with carriage bolts, washers, and nuts in a matter of minutes. This rapid installation process reduces labor time and minimizes downtime for dock owners who need to keep their vessels operational. The plate also works well in industrial loading dock settings where heavy equipment, pallets, and forklifts regularly traverse the dock surface, providing a reinforced edge that helps prevent wear and tear on the dock’s perimeter.
